Any Other Way

Hopped on a plane for the first time today
I can't look back
I needed some self-assurance
I'm gonna find that
Got a book off the shelf today
It's gonna tell me what I should say
I don't know how to talk, when you're looking that way
Feeling bad for saying
Oh my god
No I'm not kidding
Gave me a sudden feeling
That I didn't have a place
You said that I was brave
But I just feel insane
You said to look into your face each day
Can you tell I'd never look away
I'm tired of running away
But I turned this town upside down
And I never found another like you
God turned off all the lights
There's gotta be a way
I'm tired of feeling like you only stay
Out of guilt and out of shame
But did we know any other way
I didn't know any other way

Well I’m cutting every corner
Trying to make it easier on me
Because I know I’m not eternal
I know I’m just a young girl
I want to be more than a woman
In a garden
But there's one thing that I do know
You are violence
And there is a war in my mind
Because I wanted to be near you
But I love you
Yes I love you
Or I’m trying to

Tornado

I am a tornado
With big green eyes and a heart beat
You don't know what to do
And I don't blame you
Seasons pass and so did you
But I don't really blame you
Teach me what to do
Cause I don't want to
You didn't catch me by surprise
You only caught me with your eyes
And I did blame you
And I will let myself miss you

You Are Here
03:44

You lit your silver spoon on fire
The night you gave way to desire
And I’m trying to give you everything you want
And I’m trying to be everything you won't
The morning is mourning the days of our old love
And the clouds are crying over days that are all gone
And your patience is thinning and I’m looking for a smile
Or a touch or some tenderness that will keep on the ground
Cause I am here and nowhere else and you are all I want
Cause I am here and nowhere else and you are all I want
Cause I am here and nowhere else and you are all I want
September, remembrance of all that we have lost
But I’m trying forgiveness for the times that you took off
And I’m looking for newness in the way you say my name
And I guess that I’m asking you to try and do the same
Cause you are here and I am here and you are all I want
Cause you are here and I am here and you are in my heart
Cause I am here and nowhere else and you are in my heart
Cause you are here and I am here and you are all I want

A Video Game

The day you fell out of love
Began like other days
Nothing new and nothing out of place
The edge that put you over
You can’t even recall
You’ve survived for quite a while now
But you don’t trust a soul
You trust in gravity
More than purity
You trust in secrecy
More than eternity
If you’re feeling good
Than somethings probably off
You never learned to smile when
You’re saying “nothing’s wrong”
I know you’re lying to me
Let me break down the wall
You trust in gravity
More than purity
You trust in secrecy
More than eternity
Forgive till you forget
But if you’re losing sleep
What’s left of your conscious
That you want to keep
You forgave it all and
Forgot yourself again
You trust in gravity
More than purity
You trust in secrecy
More than eternity
You said that I’m a cloud in
Your video game
I wish I was a hero
With something beautiful to say

I'm Not Scared
04:52

I’m not scared of you this time
And when you pick up the phone I’ll stay on the line
And I’ll do more than breathe this time
And I’ll let you in at least I’m gonna try
And it felt so strange when I said it out loud
That I look for redemption in everyone else
But funny thing is that I always hated church
Spend so much time looking that I forgot to search
And to be a woman is to be in pain
And my body reminds me almost every day
That I was made for another, but I don’t want to know that
Cause it happened once and I always look back
In my sentience I wear your judgement like a crown
Couldn’t look you in your eyes so I look to the ground
Then I took the drugs again last night
But pills have never brought me any kind of light
My eyes are heavy all I want to do is sleep
But I need to make money and I need to eat
And loving never made anybody I know happy
And loving only seems to make you bruise and to bleed
And to be a woman is to be in pain
And my body reminds me almost everyday
That I was made for another, but I don’t want to know that
Cause it happened once and I always look back

Seventeen

Reverence so uncomfortable
You sit across the room
Cause I’m too scared to talk to you
You knew a friend I knew a friend
I looked down at your hands
Pretending I was looking at the floor
I held your eyes for quite sometime
I’m not sure how it happened
I was just surprised
Were you surprised?
I walk in the breeze
Like I am seventeen
Love is mostly war
And war what is it for?
Only love the people
Who don’t love you back
What is up with that?
Are you done with that?
I can’t say I’m much different
Cause I still love you
I was blinded
And I’m still blinded
I walk in the breeze
Like I am seventeen
Love is mostly war
And love what is it for?
I distract myself with other things
To keep myself from you
I’m tired of the others
They never loved you
My life has always been a kind of secret
Can you keep it?
Could you keep it?
I walk in the breeze
Like I am seventeen
Love is mostly war
And love what is it for?
You always say that I look so tough
But it’s because I’m tough

Self-Help
03:17

Electrocuted in the bathtub
Yellow black my bruises become
The heart is a heavy coffin
Where I lay down everyone I love
I used the self-help book
To kill a fly
I think it worked mom
I think I’m fine
Pray for my fifth of a century
The start of the beginning
The light in my eyes
Not the tears that fall out
Well you have a soft sort of power
But you know I’m not your napkin
This time this time this time

I just don't trust people who like me
After you leave my house
I'm already in doubt
I am convinced
That I am some kind of cloud
Of disease
Someone said to take myself out
Romance myself and have no doubts
But all I ended up with was a can and a couch
A lonesome heart and a hungry mouth
The cat doesn't even like me these days
And I can't blame her she is right in her ways
I remember kissing you
It stops my breath and skips up my neck
Then I remember you are far away
And I’m not the one you wanted anyway
Love is a four lettered word
A curse and a lie
I slept with a ghost I’m convinced, that night
Didn't see you with the lights so dim
You let me in and I knew then
You let me in and I knew then
I'm missing you when I try to sleep
Like a kid on the phone waiting to speak
And I’m in deep, I know I know
But I’m a saint with the secrets I keep
And I crumble with each memory

I woke up laughing at my own joke
In my dream last night
Still know the punchline
But not how to be right
Cutting slits in brown paper bags
Pretending it's my neck
Okay I’m sorry
I didn't mean to take it there again
Someone I almost married
Is doing that this month
And I’m ignoring my reading
And living like a ghost
Simple times will come again
Of this I am aware
But when will someone hold my hand
And say that they care
